i work in electron js with aws cognito and oauth2. I need to get an accessToken dynamically from a Storage which is in a cloud endPoint in order to have the authorizations to get a list of data. As far as now, i can get the list if i specify the token in a static way. But i need it dynamic. The key for the token is CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.COGNITO_CLIENT_ID.username.accessToken But i can't seem to get it even if i configured Cognito
Here is my code for the configuration file which also contains the signIn function:
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
const { Amplify } = require('aws-amplify');
const AmazonCognitoIdentity = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js');
const CognitoUserPool = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUserPool;
const CognitoUserSession = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUserSession;
const CognitoUser = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUser;
const CognitoIdToken = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoIdToken;
const CognitoAccessToken = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
const CognitoRefreshToken = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoRefreshToken;
const COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID = 'eu-west-1_P0Jcr7nig';
const COGNITO_CLIENT_ID = '4m1utu56hjm835dshts9jg63ou';
const AWS_REGION = 'eu-west-1';
Amplify.configure({
Auth: {
// OPTIONAL - Enforce user authentication prior to accessing AWS resources or not
mandatorySignIn: false,
region: AWS_REGION,
userPoolId: COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
userPoolWebClientId: COGNITO_CLIENT_ID,
// OPTIONAL - Manually set the authentication flow type. Default is 'USER_SRP_AUTH'
authenticationFlowType: 'USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',
oauth: {
domain: "https://edc-echosens-cloud.auth.eu-west-1.amazoncognito.com",
scope: ["email", "profile", "openid"],
redirectSignIn: "http://localhost:1962/",
redirectSignOut: "http://localhost:1962/",
responseType: "code", // or 'token', note that REFRESH token will only be generated when the responseType is code
},
API: {
endpoints: [
{
name: 'PatientsList',
endpoint: 'https://url',
},
],
},
},
});
Auth.signIn({
username: 'doctoredc@yopmail.com',
password: 'kinG2804*D',
}).then().catch(err => {
console.log(err)});
function getAccessToken() {
const poolData = {
UserPoolId : COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
ClientId : COGNITO_CLIENT_ID,
};
const userPool = new CognitoUserPool(poolData);
var authenticationData = {
Username : 'mymail@mail.com', // your username here
Password : 'kinG2804*D', // your password here,
authenticationFlowType: 'USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',
Pool : userPool
};
var authenticationDetails = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.AuthenticationDetails(
authenticationData);
var cognitoUser = new CognitoUser(authenticationData);
cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, {
onSuccess: function (result) {
console.log('access token + ' + result.getAccessToken().getJwtToken());
},
onFailure: function(err) {
console.log(err);
},
});
}
// You can get the current config object
//const currentConfig = Auth.configure();
exports.Auth = Auth;
module.exports.getAccessToken = getAccessToken
I made the pool configurations, specified the api url, and the credentials. Also i added an Auth.signIn function and a getAccessToken function. Then this is the code to call the function in my main
const API_URL = 'https://url';
const headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: theAccessToken.getAccessToken()
};
console.log('Token Value:', theAccessToken.getAccessToken());
const getPatients = async(API_URL) => {
try {
const response = await fetch(API_URL,{
method: 'GET', headers: headers}
);
const json = await response.json();
console.log(json);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};
getPatients(API_URL);
The problem is the team which made the cloud endpoint specified the authFlowType to be USER_PASSWORD_AUTH but i get an error message USER_SRP_AUTH is not enabled for the client. And they work with USER_PASSWORD_AUTH. So it's blocking me and i don't know what's wrong with not getting the access token dynamically.
Help me please i am so close to the answer .Thank you
